Nogbad the Bad

You should be busy singing,' Bring on the Champions' by now.

Could be, but I haven't seen it mentioned on the official site.

Oh, you've gone Purple Paul. Perhaps you could answer when you get back from the Rovers/Bury game?

Harewood and Taylor both on the bench with no Burns is not just beyond my understanding, it's getting bloody irritating.

A poor second, as in 20% less revenue, the lack of an hotel accounting no doubt for a large portion of that 20%.

You can agree or not - 80% is the figure given by the club. Your description of AG doesn't ring true with me - it's a fantastic traditional ground in a wonderful majestic setting with the park, pubs etc., and very much part of the local community. The plans for the redeveloped Gate will be it's next natural progression giving modern facilities, new income streams and increasing capacity whilst remaining on the footprint most of us are proud to call 'home'. Long may those local pubs thrive. Your enthusiasm for AV with the 'trunk road, the park and ride and the hotel' makes me feel a bit sick. Long live Ashton Gate.

Yes.The executive boxes, restaurants, conference facilities etc. will all be there, as will a capacity only about 3,000 below AV. Ashton Vale was never going to blow a redeveloped AG out of the water - that's where the exaggeration and spin was in the first place.

The figure of 80% of the revenue came in a statement from a member of the board. Out of interest, where exactly has your contrary information come from?

Don't know where you or anyone else got that from Arn, it's just not true. It's been stated many times that a redeveloped AG would produce 80% of the maximum income Ashton Vale could achieve. It will be by far the best stadium in the Bristol area even if Rovers eventually get the go ahead for their shockingly tedious and characterless bowl..

Who cares about a hotel, it's got asbsolutely nothing to do with the ground, or football. A redeveloped AG gives us 80% of the income we could have achieved at AV, and more than sufficient capacity. I'll be delighted if it's confirmed we're staying at Ashton Gate.

It's true alright. As an example RedM quoted her daughter, who was at the game, on 33 minutes: 'We're playing it around at the back and not getting forward, crowd very restless.' Post 78. There were also a number of clearly audible individual shouts of impatience and discontent from the crowd at about the same time. It may have seemed different actually at the game in certain parts of the ground, but this was the clear impression on the radio, and from at least one person at AG.

Crowd very restless and plenty of very audible moans coming from the AG crowd until we scored.
